This is the bit that intetrests me:-

Boro boss Tony Mowbray admitted he had set his side up specifically to combat Cardiff, delighted his rookie defence – including centre-back Seb Hines making his first start in a year – coped with the Bluebirds’ perceived potency in attack.

“We studied Cardiff all week before the game,” said Mowbray. “They are a quality team and whatever people think of Craig Bellamy he is a fantastic footballer with unbelievable speed and is a genuine threat in the Premier League never mind this division. We just let their centre-backs have the ball and made sure we kept our shape well while we were still a threat of our own.” - he read us like a book and Dave Jones could not counteract his tactics - says it all really

exaclty we are so easy to play against, every team will do the same, so pretty much we need to change it or we will get no where. enough said.

Lack in confidence in the Manager and his team set up?

i dont know why. all we need is a confidence booster.

hopefully we can have a little run of games now

and get the table ticking over

personally if we slip down to 3rd/4th im still not bothered asd we have 25 games remaining

keep the faith and support the lads.

What I can see all this lack of confidence, stemmed from the team selection for the swansea game. The players were unhappy with the selection before the game and it showed on the pitch and things havent been right since.
